Consequences of Public/Private Selves on the Stigmatized Individual in the Workplace
(2019-07)Although workplace discrimination based on group membership has been studied, there is little research focused on the experience of stigmatized individuals and the organizational outcomes of perceived stigmatization. ... -
Two-Point Boundary Value Problems for Higher Order Nonlinear Hyperbolic Equations
(2019-05)Two–point boundary value problems in a multidimensional box for higher order nonlinear hyperbolic equations are considered. The concepts of a strongly isolated solution, and locally and globally strong well–posedness of ... -
Multi-Class Logical Analysis of Data with Relaxed Patterns and Its Extension to Survival Analysis
(2019-05)This dissertation builds on a previously successful optimization based linear program multi-class classification method, called Logical Analysis of Data (LAD), and improves its generalization capability by introducing ... -
An Assessment of Environmental Literacy and Investigation of the Predictors of Environmentally Responsible Behavior Among Secondary-School Students
(2019-07)The purposes of this study were to: (a) determine the level of environmental literacy (EL) of secondary school students in Saudi Arabia with regard to selected factors in the domains of environmental knowledge, affective ... -
Weak Turbulence Closures in Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamics
(2019-05)In this work we apply the weak turbulence closure to the governing equation of incompressible homogeneous magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). It was originally thought that the method lacked applicability to linearly dispersive ... -
Characterization of RF Signal Propagation for Wireless Sensor Network Deployed in Mountainous Environment
(2019-05)Wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes, in mountainous forests, report real-time data to base stations concerning events, in which researchers and decision makers are interested in. A thorough research reveals the deficiency of ... -
UE Based Performance Evaluation of 4G LTE Network
(2019-05)In the past ten years, we have witnessed an increase in demand for mobile services as we have come to depend more and more on mobile phones as an indispensable part of everyday life. And not merely for making phone calls ... -
Exploring the predictive validity of personality for job performance across occupations using a person-centered approach
(2019-07)The goal of this study is to shed light upon the complex and long-debated relationship between personality and job performance from a new angle. Using a person-centered approach to examine personality, this study is the ... -
Using an Elicited Orienting Response and Respondent Conditioning to Increase Eye Contact in Response to a Name Call in Children with Autism
(2019-07)One of the earliest and most noticeable characteristics of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is impaired eye contact. Difficulty with making eye contact presents concerns for children regarding academic, social, ... -
An Evaluation of a Culture Interview Checklist for Behaviorally-Oriented Clinicians
(2019-07)In recent years, there have been calls from within the field for behavior analysts to develop awareness of the impact of client culture on treatment. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a checklist as ... -
Detecting Conflicts among Autonomous Devices in Smart Homes
(2019-05)Emerging technologies such as Internet-of-Things, sensors, and communication networks have been introduced into traditional homes to offer a wide range of smart home services to simplify home appliances or home care and ... -
Assume-Guarantee Reasoning Using a Cyber Security Ontology
(2019-05)Design of a network is a challenging problem as it involves the integration of several complex components such as routers, servers, computers, smart devices. This is further complicated by the need to have robust security ... -
HUMANS, VEGETATION, AND DROUGHT IN LATE HOLOCENE AMAZONIA
(2019-05)The resilience and adaptation of past societies to climate change remain unclear, especially in the tropical cloud-forests of the Andes and the aseasonal forests of lowland western Amazonia. Long thought to have been too ... -
